Round One Of 2014 Western Australian MX Champs Run and Won At Coastal Park

Posted:



Celebrating its tenth year of promoting the Western Australian State Motocross Championships, the 2014 WAMX opening round had something to whet the appetites of the crowd at Coastal Park in Henderson, in Perth‰Ûªs southern suburbs.

A renowned tough, deep sandy circuit, the riders were greeted with a pristine circuit, which dramatically changed as the day went on to test both riders and their machines.

Louis Calvin broke through to take the first moto win, to kick of the Pro Open class for 2014. Stevie Heilers took the early lead in the Premiere class but Calvin made the pass and took the win from Heilers and Kyle Webster. Dan Woodward finished in fourth and Paul Humberston in fifth place.

The Cullys Yamaha Webster broke through for the win in the second race ahead of Calvin and Heilers. Calvin struggled in the second race despite frantic pit board messages encouraging the 2013 champ, he managed second place, unable to chase down Webster. The early race leader, Heilers momentum was soon thwarted with a flat tyre, which had the Mini Diggers Demolition entry managing to limp home in third place.

The final moto had the big names struggling as Dan Woodward captured a brilliant holeshot and lead the race early. The racing from the main contenders coming through the packs was sensational.

The ride of the day went to the 17 year old Webster. He managed to carve his way through the field, despite a poor start and on a very heavily rutted and very tough Coastal Park circuit. Webster put in a blinding lap late in the race to pass Heilers through the air to move into second place, and then made a swift pass on Calvin to take the lead and the moto win.

Calvin suffered a crash, but managed to come through in third as Heilers picked up second.

‰ÛÏWe head off on Monday straight to Appin, so no time to really get back on the bike!" Webster said after the race. "It was a tough day out there, I just had to be on my game!

"I am so thankful for the help from the team at Cullys Yamaha, Brian and Strett have helped so much, plus with working hard on my fitness, that helped me so much today. I‰Ûªm looking forward to Round 2 at Kalgoorlie and hope to back that up with a strong ride‰Û

Robbo Lovett stormed out early in the first Pro lites moto with last season‰Ûªs victor Josh Adams in second and Jayden Rykers on his tail.

With two laps to go, Lovett‰Ûªs front wheel washed out allowing Adams through to take the win from Rykers in second and Lovett home in third place.

The six lap sprint format for race two suited Rykers style as the Bunbury KTM leapt into the lead from the gates drop. Adams scrambled into second place as Rykers took the win from Adams and David Birch with Kyle Webster, Lovett, Paul Humberston and Brody Fewster next over the line.

The final moto was electrifying with 2011 Champion Birch grabbing the holeshot and the lead. Rykers was outstanding in his charge to catch Birch, the hard charging Rykers narrowed the gap, making the pass and taking over the lead and going on taking the race win.

Birch finished in second place with Adams home for third, Humberston in fourth and Webster in fifth.

‰ÛÏIt was a great day today, I am really rapt with how my day went, and it is very pleasing to have the number 1 red plate heading into the next round at Kalgoorlie." Rykers stated. "I‰Ûªm holding onto this Pro Lites number 1 red plate very tight, it‰Ûªs a good start to the season!

Kicking off the championship season with a perfect score for the day in the Women's class was Courtney Hirst. Hirst dominated all three motos with Shelley Connor second and Chelsea Blakers in third position for the day.

Sitting on the sidelines injured, defending champ Jess Moore was itching to be back out competing.

‰ÛÏI am still a few weeks away from getting medical clearance to ride again, it‰Ûªs pretty hard watching the girls out there but I can‰Ûªt wait to be fit and back out there." Morre said.

Round 1 winner Courtney Hirst, on a Honda this season, was delighted with her win for the day.

‰ÛÏI can‰Ûªt thank the team at Prestige Honda for such a great bike and set up this season, bring on Round 2," Hirst commented.

Flying out of the gates, it was little surprise when Chris Bosnakis took out the round win in the Pro Quad Championship. Bosnakis swept the field and was never challenged with leads blowing out to over 20 seconds in each of the three motos.

It was short lived return to racing for Jordan Dummett, with mechanical issues forcing him in to retiring from the first moto thus ending his day.

Round 2 of the WAMX series, heads 600 kilometres east, to the historic goldfields town of Kalgoorlie. The Goldfields Motorcycle Club celebrates its 100th year, and this hard packed track is free-flowing and very fast, and favoured by many riders.

The Easter long weekend is a bumper double header with Juniors on Saturday and Seniors on Sunday.
